THE IMPACT OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING ON EFL STUDENTS' LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY

This thesis explores the impact of project-based learning (PBL) on the language proficiency of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. PBL is an instructional method that encourages students to engage in real-world projects, enhancing their language skills through collaborative and meaningful activities. This study reviews the literature on PBL and its effectiveness in promoting language proficiency, highlighting its benefits in fostering critical thinking, communication skills, and learner autonomy. The findings suggest that PBL positively influences EFL students' language proficiency, providing them with opportunities for authentic language use in collaborative settings. Recommendations for integrating PBL into EFL curricula are discussed, emphasizing the importance of teacher training and resource availability to maximize the benefits of this approach.
